Milestones, records and landmarks

**Zunaid** · #1 December 20, 2006, 09:31 PM

Folks...

Can we use this thread to record the many milestones, records and landmarks our cricketers reached/achieved this calendar year.

I will start the ball rolling with one:

Mashrafe - highest ODI wicket taker for 2006 (49)

Please continue.

Kabir · #2 December 20, 2006, 09:35 PM

And I'll go with the easiest ones:

- Shahriar Nafees 1000 ODI runs in calendar year
- SN 1000 ODI runs in career
- SN's 2 consequetive maiden tons
- BD's first player to score more than one century
- Rafiq's 100 ODI wickets
- Mashrafee's first 50

Farhad · #6 December 20, 2006, 10:06 PM

O right....forgot to add that.....8 consecutive wins....And not to make this a useless post, let me add another.....Highest success rate for BD (64.29%)

Mahir · #7 December 20, 2006, 10:26 PM

- First series whitewash against a Test playing country.
- Most Consecutive ODIs played : 65 (K. Mashud, Multan '03 to Bogura '06)
- Most Consecutive ODIs as Captain : 29 (H. Bashar, Chittagong '04 to Harare '06)
- First Tiger to maintain an ODI avg of 40 in atleast 20 innings played (S. Nafees)

Bancan · #8 December 20, 2006, 10:31 PM

i have a question

is this the first time a team played against a opponent 17 times in 1 year.

*AsifTheManRahman* · #9 December 21, 2006, 12:22 AM

no, because we didn't play them 17 times.

I don't think you can have consecutive 'maiden' tons, unless you're a born again virgin...

gatekeeper · #11 December 21, 2006, 12:46 AM

Franklly, I'm a little sick of all this mindless adulation. Gotta keep things in perspective. Who did we play to achieve these records? The only record I am intersted right now is how many wins we get from here on against quality opposition. Individual records will follow.

Tintin · #12 December 21, 2006, 01:59 AM

SN 123* in 161 balls in the Champions Trohpy - longest ODI innings for Bangladesh (world record for a 50 over match - 168 balls)

He made 123*(161), 105* (138) and 67 (68) - that is 367 balls between consecutive dismissals. No idea what the record is.

roi · #13 December 21, 2006, 04:19 AM

Highest ODI total for Bangladesh -301 againest Kenya.

Hatebreed · #14 December 21, 2006, 04:56 AM

Razzak became the only 4th Bangladeshi bowler to take 5 wickets in an ODI

Miraz · #15 December 21, 2006, 05:51 AM

First Away Series win in BD cricket history (Kenya 3-0),
First wihitewash in away series (Kenya 3-0)
Highest ever rating position for Bangladeshi bowler (Razzaq - 12, rafiq - 15) in ODI
Highest ever first day total against aussies in tests in subcontinent (First test against Aussies - 355/5)
First ever first innings lead against aussies

Kabir · #16 December 21, 2006, 09:32 AM

Closest to winning a Test against Aussies (yea, that's proving us as losers)

If not confined to cricketers only:
- Home of cricket - Mirpur stadium

cricket_dorshok · #17 December 21, 2006, 11:35 AM

6 runs from 33 balls by Khaled Mashud. (Abahan vs Brothres, Kai Altech Premier Division Twenty20 League).
I don't know any record but think that it would be the most "ghonno" batting in any twenty20 match. I know this thread is not for the worst performer!!! :p

Bancan · #19 December 21, 2006, 03:58 PM

TheWatcher · #20 December 21, 2006, 04:47 PM

- Razzak achieved 50+ career ODI wickets
- Bashar captained in 50+ career ODIs
- Five of our stadiums (Fatullah, Bogra, Khulna, Chittagong Divisional, and Mirpur) got international status

Thats probably the best piece of stat thats not been talked about this year (for BD).

why not throw the query in for Steven Lynch of Cricinfo for his AskStevens column ? Let's see if it gets answered publicly.

Ahmed_B · #23 December 22, 2006, 02:06 PM

BTW.... BD's ODI ranking went up in 2006 for the first time after Test status. Went 2 steps up from 11th to 9th.

Looks like loads of milestones for BD in 2006. Even though all these dontt mean that BD cricket has gone miles high in 2006... but it sure means that BD has settled some long-overdue maths with it's closest contestants (Zim, Ken)

billah · #24 December 22, 2006, 02:34 PM

For those of you that think softly of our success against Kenya and Zimbabwe (and I said this several times before), here's a piece of valuable information:

For many years, Zimbabwe and Kenya stayed ahead of other associate countries using their success against us. For example, take Kenya. During the years they were ahead of us in the point table, was mainly due to wins they had against Bangladesh. Same goes for Zimbabwe.

Also, as for the present Zimbabwe team, now that the time for family franchise is over, and the backstabbing traitors are gone, this IS the real National team of Zimbabwe. Their cricket has a rebirth of sort. And, I can tell you, as a newly born cricketing nation, they are pretty impressive. They are only getting better. Remember, this new team is merely a few years old, packed with very young players. They are talented, regardless.

Kenya, has been a strong ODI side, in my opinion. They are capable of, on a given day, pulling off a victory against the champions. They were the SEMI FINALISTS of the last world cup.

True, but in no way can we take that seriously. It was 4 years ago.....Their matches with the top 8 after that (however few there were) were pretty dissapointing. Based on just that, we cant have an opinion on the Kenya side for now.
